Skin Medica Review

 Updated On:

Overview

Skin Medica offers a variety of skin care products for hydration, cleansing, caring for acne, and more. Skin Medica also has a line of anti-aging products which include Dermal Repair Cream, Retinol Complex, Vitamin C Complex, Uplifting Eye Serum, and Rejuvenative Toner.

Product Details

Skin Medica’s Dermal Repair Cream is made to repair sun damage, reduce age spots, condition and firm the skin, and protect against environmental pollutants which can cause skin damage. Its key ingredients are Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Tocopheryl Linoleate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Algae Extract, Pro-Vitamin B5, Squalane, and Aspergillus/Aspidosperma Quebracho Ferment.

Skin Medica’s Retinol Complex is supposed to reduce the appearance of fine lines and sun damage, enhance skin texture, provide natural exfoliation, and increase cell turnover. Its key ingredients include Retinyl Palmitate, Retinol, Retinyl Acetate, Tocotrienols, and Tocopheryl Acetate.

The manufacturer’s Vitamin C Complex is marketed to prevent sun damage, improve overall tone, texture, and firmness, and increase collagen production. Its key ingredients are Vitamin C, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Tocopheryl Acetate, and Tocopherol.

The Uplifting Eye Serum should be used to smooth and hydrate the sensitive skin around the eye area and help to diminish dark circles and the appearance of fine lines. Its key ingredients include Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Kojic Acid, Algae Extract, Tocopheryl Acetate, Retinyl Palmitate, Green Tea Leaf Extract, and Licorice Root Extract.

The Skin Medica Rejuvenative Toner is made to remove oil and impurities from the skin as well as to restore pH balance and reduce enlarged facial pores. Its key ingredients are Lactic Acid, Glycolic Acid, Citric Acid, and Malic Acid, Willow Bark Extract, Green Tea Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, and Witch Hazel Extract.

The manufacturer’s website does a good job of explaining these active ingredients and how each one is beneficial to the skin.

The Good

  • Skin Medica products are explained in detail and lists of all key ingredients which make the product beneficial are given.
  • Skin Medica has a good online presence and offers a way to get in contact with the manufacturer

The Bad

  • The products cannot be purchased through the manufacture’s website and are only available through physicians and dermatologists. The prices are not posted online.
  • Skin Medica customer testimonials are not available through the company’s official website.
  • A money back guarantee is not offered.
  • A free sample is not offered.

The Bottom Line

If these products are recommended by your dermatologist or physician, it is likely that they will be beneficial to your skin. Unfortunately, the products may be difficult to locate in your area, but Skin Medica offers a “physician locator” on its website to try and help with this. The Skin Medica products do contain ingredients which have been proven effective in scientific studies of skin care products. The products are likely to be expensive, especially since they are not widely available for purchase. It would be helpful if the company would offer a free sample for consumers who don’t want to go through the expense and hassle of a doctor’s visit to try.

Top Wrinkle Cream for 2010: Hydroxatone

After looking at literally hundreds of wrinkle reduction and prevention treatments, Hydroxatone is our top choice. This product offers customers a Risk-Free Trial, and contains all four of the most effective and exciting ingredients for reversing and preventing wrinkles: Matrxyl 3000®+ Argireline® + SPF + Hyuloronic Acid. No other formula combines these ingredients into one cream, and the Hydroxatone® website has testimonials from customers who have seen results. Argireline® and Matrixyl 3000® are two clinically proven and patented wrinkle-fighting peptides, while SPF provides sun protection and Hyuloronic Acid penetrates tissue to keep skin young and supple. Clinical data that a formula works says it all, and the Hydroxatone® website provides ample proof.

Optional – For Enhanced Results: Hydrolyze®

After looking at so many anti-aging treatments, we've seen that the delicate skin around the eyes can be a real problem area for many people. Dark circles can make you look years older, and for some people even a good night's sleep won't make them go away. That's why we were so excited to find Hydrolyze, which has been formulated by industry experts specifically as an under-eye treatment. The makers of Hydrolyze are so confident in their product that they offer potential users a Risk Free Trial so they can see the results for themselves. Hydrolyze contains the break-through ingredient Haloxyl, which has been shown to reduce under-eye discoloration between 40%-60% in a clinical case study. By offering consumers a way to erase the dark circles and wrinkles that often occur under the eyes, Hydrolyze is revolutionizing the skincare industry. >> Read more about Hydrolyze
